Notes

This was a bust. More on it later.

So the plan was to do a treadmill workout so I could get some more consistent fluids in, instead of leaving my bottle on the side of the path around Harriet. Legs have been feeling dead this week, but I've manage to pull off other work outs alright even while feeling a bit run down. The goal was every mile having the first 3/4s at MP and the last 1/4 at tempo pace x 7 miles. Got 3.25 miles in and the legs just couldn't keep going. I stopped and as soon as I did I got really light headed and had some yellow and purple edging to my peripheral vision. There was no way I would be able to get back on that horse today. Ended up just finishing easy for an hour.

Looking back, I think it may be a combination of a few things. First, its actually hot and humid again. Two, I don't think I've fully recovered from racing hard on monday, then doing a long run the following day. I'll hold off on any serious workouts the rest of the week, and maybe throw something together after a few more easy/recovery days.
